Parents Beware, everthing was broken.
(you can't make this stuff up)
Party started awesome, parties atmosphere & moods were great.
Then...
Not 1 child or adult was able to complete a round of bowling.
Not 1 child or adult could complete a round of mini golf.
Those who ordered hamburgers 1st got stomach aches, those who didn't eat were fine. No one ordered their dinner or any other food after saw state of the hamburgers brought out.
70' & breezy outside, 93' & stuffy inside (I can live with this one, older guests not so much).
Few video games, even 25c a game ones, that worked ate 5x more money than gave credits then controls &/or screens had problems.
Spent more time dealing with problems from stuff not working & waiting for the staff to get balls & reset machines than anything, literally. For something that is pay by the hour this was pretty weak.
Details:
Mini golf obstacles were broken, wouldnt open to let balls through, got stuck, froze up & were repaired with gorilla tape (duct tape) etc.
Bowling lanes machines kept intermittently keeping balls, resetting, dropping rail etc the whole time to point couldn't get through a single game. Kids (& adults) all got frustrated, bored, annoyed etc & ended up just giving up after 30-45 minutes because there really was no point. At times ball would be 1/2 way down the lane and the rail would drop down & block the ball. You couldnt even get two shots down either of the lanes for fun let alone a frame or game. Then would have to go get staff, wait for them to fix or reset it, release balls etc.
Video games ate money constantly & the rest were broken or out of service. After $20 or so worth of quarters just going poof, games just stopping, kids frustration & dealing with it they all (kids & adults) gave up on those
Faulty & worn out state of the entertainment machines, broken bowling lanes, video games & broken mini golf course held together by duct tape in places & charged full price well over $100 for 4 kids. Little ones left in tears older ones annoyed & grumpy. Hats off to adults & kids though, they really did try & make the best of it.
Staff are nice but without working facility that doesn't cut it alone. Be a regular hangout for our family if any of it worked.
Our 7 yr old also has her birthday later this month. When we started party she was loving her 1st time bowling & was all about her party being there. After problems ruined bowling she was not so sure. After everything she tried to do was broken & didnt work right if worked at all she is back to wanting the park or skating rink for her party. She still fell in love with bowling though. Next time will just have to be somewhere the bowling lanes work.
Not angry or trying to slam a business, was just our parties experience with the facility. Those in our house who didn't eat just went for bike ride & played at park to get out of the funk that was put on the day & worked like a charm. Those who ate... well after calling around & talking to them later I found the common theme of saturday night plans included staying home & close to the bathroom. Just like my oldest daughter who just couldn't wait to eat & was in on 1st & last of the orders from our party lol. read more
